Adding Directory Users and Groups to Anzo

After you connect to a central directory server, you have multiple options for how LDAP users gain access to Anzo. Some organizations retrieve the LDAP users and groups from the server and add them to Anzo. An Anzo administrator then manages role and license assignment in Anzo. Other organizations pre-define LDAP-to-Anzo role configurations and mappings so that users are automatically assigned an Anzo license and can log in to Anzo as soon as the LDAP administrator adds them to the appropriate LDAP role. With this option, no action needs to be taken in Anzo once the directory server is connected and user and role mappings are configured.

This topic provides instructions for adding directory users and groups to Anzo. For instructions on setting up self-authorization for directory users so that they can log into Anzo and automatically become licensed after being added to the appropriate LDAP group, see Enabling Self-Authorization for Directory Users.

  5. The last step in the process is to configure the Licensed users. If you want a user to be able to log in to Anzo, they must be specified as a licensed user.
